  8. Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance • Nationwide AFP (acute flaccid paralysis) surveillance is the • gold standard for detecting cases of poliomyelitis. • The four steps of (AFP) surveillance are: • finding and reporting children with (AFP) • transporting stool samples for analysis • isolating and identifying poliovirus in the laboratory • mapping the virus to determine the origin of the virus strain.

  9. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication • Environmental surveillance involves:- • testing sewage or other environmental samples for the presence of poliovirus. • systematic environmental sampling (e.g. in Egypt and Mumbai, India) • ad-hoc environmental surveillance elsewhere (especially in polio-free regions)

  11. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Polio campaign monitoring Independent polio campaign monitoring is carried out to assess the quality and impact of supplementary immunization activities - critical to guiding any necessary mid-course corrections if gaps or problems are found.

  12. Polio campaign monitoring Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication • The basic elements include recording: • the number and source of independent monitors • the number of children monitored • the percentage of children whose fingers are marked to prove they were vaccinated • the proportion of districts monitored A child’s finger is marked after being vaccinated. Bodinga, Nigeria

  13. Vaccinating five million children in Sudan In 2006, Sudan held mass polio vaccination campaigns after two cases were reported in neighbouring Chad. More than five million children were vaccinated over three days. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Oral polio vaccine is stored in refrigerators at a health facility. The rainy season flooded the area but the refrigerators are intact, keeping the vaccine chilled.

  14. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication • Dr Salah Haithami checks that a vaccinator knows her tasks:– • giving two drops of vaccine to every child • marking their fingers with indelible ink • storing the vaccine safely in her cooler box.

  15. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Dr Tayeb EL Saied, in charge of Sudan's immunization programme, demonstrates house marking.

  16. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication A team of vaccinators waits to be driven out to a remote community. More than 90% of vaccinators are women, as only women have access to private households.

  17. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Nigeria Nigeria is on the last lap towards polio eradication with tremendous progress over the past two years but the battle is not yet over

  18. Intensified efforts are underway to mobilize communities for polio campaigns through varied communications interventions. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Women’s compound meetings are targeting high risk communities where resistance to oral polio vaccine is strong.

  19. Aminu Ahmad is the President of Kano’s Association for Polio Victims. He runs his own tricycle business where 80% of employees are people with polio. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Aminu is actively involved in community mobilisation efforts.

  20. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Traditional leaders play a key role in addressing resistance to immunization thanks to their status and high respect in communities….. vaccinating eligible children including their own.

  21. Papa Lolos (Village clowns) are actively engaged during campaign flag offs to draw out the crowds while vaccination team waits to capture all eligible children. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Locally produced Majigi films – that include drama and polio facts – are widely used to strengthen the impact of communication.

  22. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Certain religious sects still have strong anti-immunization attitudes. Emirs and religious scholars help to overcome them. Aminu was invited to address the Kano Emirate Council.

  23. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Okada bikers (taxis) are used in Zamfara to inform and mobilise communities during the week leading to the campaign.

  24. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Nigeria will have to reach every last child in the next six months to be able to stop the transmission of the wild polio virus in Northern Nigeria.

  25. Rotary Foundation SeminarPolio Eradication Rotary’s US$200 million CHALLENGE to match the Bill & Melina Gates Foundation donation of US$355 million Total as of October 28, 2011, $192 million as reported by Challenge Coordinator Clare Monroe, TRF staff.
